After impressing the BiH public with his prophetic abilities, self-confidently
announcing that the most wanted Serb will be transferred to the
Hague Tribunal within eight days, eight months or eight years, the
American prophet impersonating COMSFOR General Virgil Packett has
now tried to impress the innocent Italian people. On 1 July, in
an interview with La Repubblica, an Italian daily, this overly clairvoyant
person, who is working on his Nosradamus impression, said: "We are
so close to Karadzic that we can feel him breathe. His days are
numbered, we will arrest him before the end of the week." To feel
his breath is an experience worth $200 million, which is the cost
of the approximately 150 failed SFOR operations to arrest Radovan.
That is how the real professionals do it. When they want to arrest
the most notorious person in the recent history, they do not hesitate
to spend a lot of money, so they appoint creatures with a refined
sense of hearing and smell. So we should not be surprised if the
hypersensitive and clairvoyant Virgil Packett informs us about the
type of chewing gum, after-shave lotion or hair gel that Radovan
Karadzic uses. Because a sensitive nose can tell the difference
between Orbit and Spearmint chewing gums. (Photo on page 16)

SFOR investigating who leaks information about operations to arrest
war crimes suspects!

According to a reliable source, SFOR is conducting a thorough inspection
of all telephone calls made in SFOR HQ in Butmir just before and
just after the important SFOR operations to arrest war crimes suspects.
According to the source, just before every such operation, an American
satellite on the base is turned to a specific position to establish
a link with other satellites in order to facilitate easier communication
with units on the ground, especially air-borne units. The movement
of the satellite antenna is the clear sign that something is about
to happen. Local employees then inform people who can alert war
crimes suspects of these activities. It is believed that a telephone
number in Banja Luka is crucial for these warnings. (p.10)

Is Radoncic trying to save his newspapers from the ruin that is
threatening the rest of his business empire?

Last week, the biggest Bosnian media and news publishing and printing
company, NIK Avaz, informed its subscribers that its papers, Dnevni
avaz, Azra, Sport, Express and other Avaz editions would be printed
by the new A-Roto Press d.o.o. Sarajevo as of 1 July and not its
former printing company. After this seemingly irrelevant information,
certain Avaz sources contacted the editor's office, claiming that
this was not an official registration of a new editor, but a highly
serious maneuver with far-reaching consequences for the local media,
business, and finally, the political and public stage. The same
sources consider that the whole business regarding the registration
was done because NIK Avaz took a loan for an incredible 20 million
KM from a foreign bank that has branch offices in BiH. Other speculation
by Avaz's sources says that the management of Avaz is afraid of
possible criminal charges being filed as regards its exemption from
paying one million KM in taxes, as established by the Finance Police
and the Federation Tax Administration and ruled by the Federation
Supreme Court. (Photo on page 19)

German police had evidence that Juka Prazina was killed by Zijo
Orucevic on the order of Senad Sahinpasic Saja!

After conducting a six-year-long investigation into the possible
involvement of Senad Sahinpasic Saja in the assassination of Juka
Prazina, the Bavarian Criminal Police closed the investigation on
15 December 1998 because there was not enough evidence for a prosecution.
The investigation by the Munich Prosecutor's Office into Saja being
possibly linked to Juka Prazina's assassination opened at the end
of 1993 and was based on tapped phone conversations. As stated in
a police report, Saja said in one of his phone conversations on
5 December 1993 that Juka, who was residing in Belgium, had been
killed early on 4 December, despite the fact that his body had not
yet been found at that time. Then, the Bavarian Criminal Police
started questioning several of Juka's friends and persons with whom
he was in contact during his stay in Germany. It is obvious from
the witnesses' testimonies and questions asked by the police investigators
that the German police had serious indications that Prazina had
been killed by Zijo Orucevic from Mostar. According to the information
available to the Munich police, Orucevic arrived in Germany from
Croatia with a passport issued to a man called Vedran Corda. The
German police also had a copy of Corda's passport, which was shown
to each of the witnesses, who had to identify him. All the witnesses
were questioned about the links between Juka and Saja, and one of
Sahinpasic's close associates stated that he knew that Prazina had
threatened Saja on several occasions. "Saja was linked to people
from Sandzak. He was the only one who could hurt Juka, since he
had a lot of money. Sandzak people were Juka's biggest enemies.
In my opinion, Saja talked Zijo into issuing an order for the assassination
of Juka," witness A.M. told the German police. (Photo on page

Judge Salem Miso: I would sentence Bajramovic again

In February 2001, Judge Salem Miso sentenced Ismet Bajramovic,

Bajramovic, Radzo and Licina, ruled that Bajramovic was not responsible

Slobodna Bosna

Clinton's Administration proposed to Karadzic to hide in India
or Russia!

Former Serb Sarajevo leader and one of former Radovan Karadzic's
closest associates, Milovan Cicko Bjelica, gave an exclusive interview
to Slobodna Bosna. Bjelica was detained by SFOR in mid-May and held
for one month. In his interview he talks about his links to the
fleeing Bosnian Serb leader, questioning by SFOR and secret negotiations
between Karadzic and foreign diplomats.

Q: You want to say that SFOR investigators mainly referred to newspaper
articles, and not their operational data. If you were followed so
long, did they present taped phone conversations or some other concrete
facts to you?

A: They had some notes, but all the questions were linked to your
texts. In the end, the investigators were themselves convinced that
many things did not make sense and had nothing to do with reality.
They did not offer me any other proof. However, there were some
photos from assembly sessions, weddings, celebration of religious
holidays that they found during a search of some facilities or in
my house but these were ordinary photos showing even IC representatives.
There was not a single document, video or tone recording. If they
had had this type of proof, I would probably not be here today but
before the BiH Court.

Q: Do you maintain contact with Radovan Karadzic's family?

A: After my removal, I have had no contact with that family. I
met with Ljilja Karadzic twice, once at the funeral of the Serb
Sarajevo Mayor, Predrag Lasica, and the other time when I handed
over an invitation to her. Nobody from this family called me or
showed interest in how I am living after everything that has happened
to me.

Q: What were the consequences that resulted from you being put
on the black list of the US and EU?

A: I had a company that was registered only on paper but was not
actually working. I did not have a current account in the RS or
anywhere else, so that the ban of my accounts did not mean anything,
and I did not plan to travel to the US or anywhere abroad. However,
I jeopardized my family and was out of a job. I applied at the Employment
Center and was receiving 40% of a personal income, while I had health
insurance through my wife. I cannot do business with anybody without
causing them trouble because I am on the black list.

Q: Before arresting you, SFOR arrested Dusan Tesic Bato and Zeljko
Jankovic Luna who were in 1998 suspected of assassinating Srdjan
Knezevic, Deputy Head of the Serb Sarajevo Public Security Center.
Did the investigators talk to you about Knezevic's assassination,
given that they were linked to this case?

A: They only asked me if I was related to Jankovic. I answered
them that I was not, and that I was in his and Tesic's company only
several times. They asked me if I knew something about this assassination,
and asked about my relations with certain persons, but this was
a 'by-the-way' sort of question.

Commenting on the deal made between Richard Holbrooke and Radovan
Karadzic, Bjelica said: "The US Administration should explain
why Madeleine Albright came to Banja Luka in 1997 to visit former
RS President Biljana Plavsic. At that time, she made an offer to
her for Radovan to leave the RS for India, South Africa, one of
the former Russian states, Greece or even the FRY. "Why did
she offer this if there was no such agreement?" asked Bjelica. (Photo

Lord Ashdown's pensioners

Dani has investigated the financial background of 59 RS officials
recently removed by Paddy Ashdown from political life. Dragan Kalinic,
the former President of the SDS and RS National Assembly, was collecting
donations for the construction of the first maternity ward in the
RS. He has raised some KM 10 million, but the ward was never built,
nor has he ever answered the question of where the money ended up.
He owns three apartments and several pharmaceutical shops in Belgrade.
Mirko Sarovic, former member of the BiH Presidency, has never accounted
for the KM 106 million raised for the construction of Serb Sarajevo
while he was the Mayor of Serb Sarajevo. He owns a private house
in Lukavica and one more in Belgrade. Zoran Djeric, the provisionally
suspended RS Minister of Internal Affairs, has full control of a
border crossing in Visegrad, through which high-tariff goods are
being smuggled. His cousin is the Director of the Terpentin factory
in Visegrad. Milan Ninkovic was the RS Defence Minister who was
the middle man in the sale of nuclear weapons from a Liberian arms
dealer. The RS Government paid KM 6 million to the dealer, who in
return sent Karadzic only some gelatin. Nevertheless, 600,000 KM
was paid to Karadzic's bank account in Italy, and Ninkovic must
have earned something. Dusko Kornjaca, Head of the Cajnice Municipality,
was also the Director of the Cajnice Hospital. At Karadzic's initiative,
Milan Tupajic, the Head of the SDS caucus in the RS Assembly, was
appointed the Co-ordinator of the construction of an airport in
Sokolac. All oil businesses linked to the construction of the airport
were controlled by Dusan Borovica. Goran Popovic, the President
of the SDS Banja Luka, was the Director of the RS Customs Administration
in 2001, when the Customs and Fiscal Assistance Office exposed embezzlement
worth millions. Pantelija Damjanovic is a co-owner of the Bosna
hotel in Banja Luka. These are the financial backgrounds of some
of the 59 RS officials recently barred from holding public office.
